The wife of one of Brattleboros we'll known

stock company of capitalists for the purpose of
developing the quarry. The Batteboro party

A Massachusetts Knight on the Causes of the
Strife in the Order


Strife in the Order.
Boston, July 30.-The internal strife in the
knights of Labor and the growing public oppo-
sition to that order have led George E. McNell.
the representative member of the order in this
district, to publish in the Labor Leader an ad-
dress to the Labor party, urging cessation of
violent and abusive tactics and a settle ment Of
differences with employers by arbitration. After
reviewing the objects of the order, Mr.. McNeill
says:
at is proper and right that the public should
be informed of the causes of the existing differ
ences and the members have full opportunity of

of complaint has its rise in the attempt and sue

position to this suicidal and treacherous policy.
There is fight of factions, but there is a de-

American Sympathy with Home Rule.


American sympathy with home rule reminds
one of the English sympathy with State rights
in the American struggle. The English Union
lists politically just where the American
Unionists were then. These latter held the in
tegrity of the national domain paramount to ali
other considerations, and their indignation was
great at Englshmen who sympathized with the
State right movement Yet their own SYM
pathy is now by large majority with the State
rights party It is not hard to see why this
change of attitude. The home-rulers of 1860
aristocrats, while now the home-rue
movement is democratic one. Political theory
has little to do with the matter. The sympathy
